Yesterday, a dramatic scene unfolded at a U.S. congressional hearing, where the SEC, confronted by lawmakers, stated: 'We can't manage cryptocurrency transactions related to the president's family!' This statement immediately caused a stir; what underlying issues are hidden here?
This story begins last year when Tron founder Justin Sun spent $30 million to buy the WLFI token, which was heavily promoted by the Trump family. The project was on the verge of collapse, but once he entered the scene, the price immediately surged by 50%. However, it soon plummeted by 60%, causing significant losses for many retail investors who followed suit. Even more shocking, Justin Sun became an advisor to the project, which is filled with Trump’s close associates.
When faced with lawmakers' questions about whether this is a disguised way to give money to the president, SEC's Atkins directly threw out a get-out-of-jail-free card: 'These types of tokens are not considered securities and cannot be regulated under current policies.' Even more surprising was when mentioning the TRUMP coin (which dropped from $12 billion to $12) that Trump himself endorsed, this official directly referred to new regulations from February this year — meme coins are not considered securities, just like sports cards, as long as they do not promise profits, they are not regulated.
But Democratic lawmakers immediately countered: 'You have a $5 million cryptocurrency fund, and your relatives are involved in securitization projects; can you guarantee fairness?' The scene immediately erupted. However, Atkins was well-prepared: 'I have cleared related assets; the SEC only targets fraudulent behavior.'
This confrontation revealed three key changes:
Regulatory attitude has made a 180-degree turn: from the former chairman investigating every cryptocurrency to now giving the green light to meme coins. The SEC is shifting from being a 'strict regulator' to 'flying kites'.
The capital market is surging beneath the surface: Goldman Sachs predicts that new policies may attract 40% of funds to enter the market, but volatility risks are also increasing (Bitcoin may experience rollercoaster-like fluctuations).
The global cryptocurrency landscape is changing: the U.S. is trying to attract exchanges and projects from Singapore and Hong Kong with loose policies.
As an old player who has experienced both bull and bear markets, I believe this policy adjustment has released an important signal: regulators are beginning to distinguish between fraudulent behavior and normal investment, which means more opportunities for ordinary people. Although short-term fluctuations are inevitable, in the long run, clear rules can help legitimate projects survive.
Three pieces of advice for ordinary investors:
Don’t let the wild fluctuations cloud your judgment; choose projects with reliable teams.
Remember, 'the greater the reward, the greater the risk'; don’t invest more than you can afford to lose.
Pay more attention to the practical application of technology and avoid vaporware.
History always repeats itself; when Bitcoin first appeared in 2012, it was also met with skepticism, but now it has become a mainstream asset. This policy shift may be nurturing new opportunities; stay rational, keep your eyes open, and opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared!
